A family of salmon net fishermen battle with activists. However, a greater enemy intent on destroying their traditional way of life emerges from the shadows.
Drama unfolds when activists descend on a sleepy fishing village on the Scottish coast. However, it is not just fishermen and activists at war, it is a collision of two worlds, the traditional and the modern, the rural and the urban and the carnivore and the vegan.

The seal population has always competed for the same food as the fishermen and so was traditionally kept low and was nearly culled to extinction early on in the last century.

These activists jump in front of the guns and use social media and video cameras to stop the Pullars by any means possible.
